How to Wear the Colourful Highlighter Trend (+ Our Top Six Favs)

Highlighter is great. We love a good glow. And while we still love our more natural shades, such as pink, peach and gold, over this past year colourful highlighter has started becoming more and more popular. I’m talking pink, à la Rihanna at this year’s Met Gala, soft purples and even the entire rainbow.

Even if the unicorn look isn’t for you, that doesn’t mean you can’t wear this shiny trend. Take the ‘less is more’ approach when applying it to your cheekbones. You can extend it over a larger area or build the colour up to a bolder shade if you want something more, well, bold! Remember that it picks up on and changes in the light, so check yourself in different lighting and from different angles before venturing outdoors.
